How to apply for these roles
- Use a clear UK CV with your education, relevant skills, work experience and right-to-work information easy to find. Tailor the opening profile and evidence to the role rather than sending the same version everywhere.
- Write a cover letter that answers the advert directly. Link each main requirement to a specific project, placement, qualification or result, and explain why the duties suit your next step.
- Read the advert’s own wording about sponsorship carefully. An employer’s sponsor licence does not by itself confirm that a particular vacancy is sponsored, so check the advert and ask the employer where the position’s eligibility is unclear.
- Check closing dates and any rolling application wording before preparing your application. Submit early where applications are reviewed as they arrive, and keep a note of documents, questions and application limits.
- For graduate schemes, set aside time for online tests as well as the application form. Practise the relevant format, read each instruction carefully and make sure your examples reflect the programme’s skills and working style.
Frequently asked questions
What does the figure for Skilled Worker routes mean?
It is the number shown for Skilled Worker routes in today’s listings. It does not confirm that every role is sponsored. Check the individual advert and ask the employer whether the specific vacancy can support your application, then consult GOV.UK for the current rules.
Are today’s roles suitable for recent graduates?
Some are explicitly aimed at students, interns or graduates, including the 10 graduate roles. Others require experience, such as software development, maintenance, client support or senior architecture, so read each description and its requirements carefully.
How can I check the salary rules for a Skilled Worker application?
Use GOV.UK for the current Skilled Worker salary rules and eligibility requirements. Then compare those rules with the particular advert and confirm the position’s details with the employer; the listing alone does not establish eligibility.
How to read this list
A sponsor licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor visas. It does not mean every role it advertises will be sponsored. Check the advert, and the salary rules for the Skilled Worker visa on GOV.UK, before you apply.
